Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4-- Clear, crisp, full-color photographs make this revision (Morrow, 1973) a charmer. As a little girl anxiously awaits the birth of puppies by the Norfolk terrier next door, a story unfolds. The puppies' arrival and first few weeks of life and development are shown and described in a simple narrative that is accessible to very young audiences. From the attractive cover with puppy peering out, past bright red endpapers and colorful photos inside, the fun is just beginning when, as the book ends, the little girl can now take her eight-week-old puppy home with her. While the text is only slightly different, the engaging photographs are all new--the previous edition featured black-and-white photographs of miniature dachshunds. Thus, the new My Puppy Is Born will captivate dog lovers. --Carol Kolb Phillips, The Library, East Brunswick, NJ

This book meant a lot to me when I was a little boy. I look forward to reading it with my own kids and I highly recommend it!

The older, red-covered Norfolk terrier version was a "home run" gift,
This review is from: My Puppy Is Born (Paperback)
I haven't seen the newer version, which apparently has a black lab puppy on the cover. If it is as good as the original(?) edition with the red cover and the brown Norfolk terrier, it will delight and fascinate toddlers and young, school-age children.
The photos of the Norfolk terrier were darling. Although the book I bought from my local library was a worn, used version, it was cherished by my niece, who couldn't wait to take it to preschool to share. She wanted it read to her every night for at least 2 weeks. Photos of the puppy learning to eat from a dish and yawning were priceless. The information in it was straightforward, factual, age-appropriate, and easy to understand. The Amazon.com product description detail still refers to the Norfolk terrier breed. If the newer edition is about another or multiple breeds, then perhaps that desc. should be updated.
